Flash Interactive: Carving a Mountain

Gutzon Borglum and a team of dedicated South Dakotan workers built the national monument at Mount Rushmore. For 14 years, the men toiled. In the end they created a shrine of democracy, a massive sculpture unlike any other. Millions of people make the pilgrimage to Rushmore each year.
